@maylander- there are other swords besides the the pure magic ore weapon recipes which there are only 3 and at least one of those maybe 2 is a two-hander. don't forget that the flame sword only does 100 damage and there are many swords out there that will do more or equal damage after you sharpen and bless them which each add 10 to the damage stat. and since magic weapons like the flame sword can't be sharpend, blessed or poisoned you can improved blades that become better.
